User privileges on a managed machine

the user's privileges on the machine.

2.4
Owners and credentials
This section explains the concept of owner and the meaning of a backup plan's (or task's) credentials.
Plan (task) owner
A local backup plan owner is the user who created or last modified the plan.
Tasks, belonging to a backup plan are owned by the backup plan owner.
Tasks that do not belong to a backup plan, such as the recovery task, are owned by the user who has
created or last modified the task.
Managing a plan (task) owned by another user
Having Administrator privileges on the machine, a user can modify tasks and local backup plans
owned by any user registered in the operating system.
When a user opens a plan or task for editing, which is owned by another user, all passwords set in
the task are cleared. This prevents the "modify settings, leave passwords" trick. The program displays
a warning each time you are trying to edit a plan (task) last modified by another user. On seeing the
warning, you have two options:
Click
Cancel
and create your own plan or task. The original task will remain intact.
Continue editing. You will have to enter all credentials required for the plan or task execution.
